Although, sometimes when I look at them, I feel that bubbling solstice energy for a moment or two...
Update / Fabulous turn of events: Today is awesomely beautiful here and it's going to be warm (9 degrees C). I've got to go buy some more flowers and soak up the sun! With sunblock on, of course.Not so hard to thrill me, yes?

We've got sunshine here to and we will get up to 8 degrees C - this is fab news and I didn't even put sun block on I need vitamin D!! xx
ReplyDeleteLove Tulips, no sign of mine in the garden yet, still freezing here in Kent, heating on and an Indian Takeaway to warm the cockles, arriving shortly x
ReplyDeleteTulips!!! Yeah! I am partial to the white ones. I can't wait until the markets start selling them again... haven't seen them in NYC yet. Flowers can make a world of difference -- so uplifting.
ReplyDeleteKate: I actually considered foregoing the sunblock, but then my vanity won out over depression :-)
ReplyDeleteFab: There's nothing like UK Indian takeaway. My mouth is watering. I mean tulips and takeaway would be nice too...
Stacy: I love the white ones. Actually, my faves are the yellow ones (almost white with a wash of yellow). I just spent a fortune on some after arguing with the flower guy. The first flower guy was selling them for 1/2 as much - but he was a mile back on my errand run.
I heart tulips! So cheerful. I love it when they plant them on Park Avenue in NYC in the spring.
ReplyDeleteI love tulips too xx
ReplyDeleteWendy: I seem to remember a blog photo of you amongst those tulips. Masses of tulips are awesome.
ReplyDeleteHammie: Are they very popular in Ireland?
tulips make life a whole lot better. i was driving home yesterday on a very dull grey afternoon, and saw peonies were on sale. i ALMOST stopped to buy a bunch, and then cheaped out. stupid stupid stupid. they might have made the day a whole lot brighter. :)
ReplyDeleteJ: Peonies are so gorgeous. You were nuts. Go back today and buy some. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes. And I grow them. Well, Mr Hammie went out and bought a couple of bags of bulbs one autumn. Then spent oh, a full 20 minutes using the special digger cup thing to bury about a 1/3 of the bag. Then went inside to watch sports and make the couch even saggier on one side.
ReplyDeleteCome spring the discarded bag was sprouting and I was able to redistribute the now growing bulbs around the place - to grow awkwardly towards the light.
After 3 years they are now somewhat straighter. You see everything in our house starts off a bit challenging!

Tulips fix everything! I have some bulbs that I've been dying to get back into my garden, but apparently tulips are kitten-posion, so I'll have to make do with flowers from now on. Boo :(
